1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) such as Xist, Air, and Kcnq1ot1 are required for epigenetic silencing of multiple genes in cis within large chromosomal domains, including distant genes located hundreds of kilobase pairs away. Recent evidence suggests that all three of these lncRNAs are functional and that they silence gene expression, in part, through an intimate interaction with chromatin. Here we provide an overview of lncRNA-dependent gene silencing, focusing on recent findings for the Air and Kcnq1ot1 lncRNAs. We review molecular evidence indicating that these lncRNAs interact with chromatin and correlate their presence with specific histone modifications associated with gene silencing. A general model for a lncRNA-dependent gene-silencing mechanism is presented based on the apparent ability of lncRNAs to recruit histone-modifying activities to chromatin. However, alternate mechanisms may be required to explain the silencing of some lncRNA-dependent genes. Finally, we discuss unanswered questions and future perspectives associated with these enigmatic lncRNA molecules.
